> Corrections does not know how many people leave prison with nowhere to live or a reintegration plan, an Auditor-General’s report has revealed.  
>  
> That information was crucial for preventing homelessness and reducing the risk of reoffending, it said.  
>  
> But Corrections said “we don’t need to know” where people are going to be living – aside from those released on parole, or with conditions.  
>  
> Corrections should do better at understanding that, to inform social services who could help those people, the report said.  
>  
> But Minister Mark Mitchell said “Corrections is not a housing agency” and was not responsible for prisoners’ housing needs after they’re released.
